The Hisense E8K TV series has been launched in China. Two models are available, with 85-in and 100-in screen sizes. The devices have a ULED X display with a 4K@144Hz resolution. The larger 100E8K has 1,620 MiniLED zones while the 85E8K has 1,296, each enabling up to 1,600 nits brightness and strong contrast. The screen covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, has a built-in ambient light sensor to adjust the brightness, and supports Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced.
Other features include VRR and ALLM, which, alongside HDMI 2.1 ports, makes the E8K suitable for gaming. The TV has a 2.1.2 channel sound system with a 77 W output, compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS technologies. You can cast to the gadgets from mobile devices using tools like Apple AirPlay and control the TV with a voice assistant.
